Default 27cm of snow - Penzance

Well, that's the approx snowfall equivalent of the 26.5mm of rain we had overnight, together with the strong/gale winds.

The wind strength graph at http://www.landsendweather.info/ shows dramatically the clearance of the main front.

1987 - when there was 30cm of snow just a few hundred yards inland. http://www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/1987Snow.pdf
That was a proper easterly. Though possibly even more exceptional was November 2010. http://www.turnstone-cottage.co.uk/ExtremeNov2010.pdf

Currently 6.8C and rising, light winds and well broken cloud.

Graham
Penzance
